Excellent experience! As a first-timer in Bangkok, it was a great place to stay. The owner's house is next door, but they respect your privacy and are friendly. My friends and I were in need of detergent to do our laundry and Pakorn let us borrow some. One slight downside is that the location is a bit north of Bangkok and a little further from the "touristy" areas if that is what you are interested in; however nothing crazy far. Getting a GrabCar or Grab Bike was easy.
